Hallowed Heritage: The Life of Virginia
Torpey, Dorothy Margaret
Virginia -- Civilization
Other articles in the Constitution concern suffrage, education,
public welfare and penal institutions, taxation and finance,
corporations and local government. Since constitution writers
realize that living conditions change from time to time, the method
of making changes in a constitution whenever necessary is included
in the amendment process. Thus, a recent constitutional change was
a revision of Section 141 making it legally permissible to permit
the use of public funds for tuition grants for pupils in private
non-sectarian schools. Virginians, like the residents of other
states, will undoubtedly continue to make necessary revisions when
conditions so warrant in order to keep the state governmental
structure a practical, adjustable foundation for a progressively
changing society.
When one understands the meaning of the various symbols used by
a state in order to create a specific identity or a particular
recognition of its inhabitants and their ideas, the state seal,
motto and flag become more significant to the citizen. Thus, it
is with pride that Virginians show reverence and respect to their
HALLOWED HERITAGE.
